Tourney next for No. 3 seeed

ALAMOSA — Mario Sanchez and Scott Hoyt each collected eight RBIs Saturday as the Colorado State University-Pueblo baseball team split a doubleheader Saturday against Adams State.

The Pack set season highs for runs and hits in a 23-10 opening-game victory before falling 9-8 in nine innings in Game 2 to wrap up the regular season.

The ThunderWolves, who took three out of four games in the series, hit three homers in the first game. They led 8-5 in the fourth inning of Game 2, then the Grizzlies rallied.

The Pack, with some help from Colorado Mesa, hung on to the No. 3 seed in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament that the Mavericks will host starting Thursday in Grand Junction.

CSU-Pueblo, which won last year’s tournament there, finished the regular season 27-22 overall, 23-15 in the RMAC, a game ahead of No. 4 seed Colorado Mines, which split a Saturday doubleheader with Colorado Mesa in Golden to finish with a 22-16 league mark.

In the RMAC tournament, the Pack will open against New Mexico Highlands at 3:30 p.m.
